The short hike from the parking lot up to the falls is well worth the effort. There is an overlook from the top of the falls and also a wooden staircase that takes you down to the bottom of the falls.

Great viewpoint of Caribou Falls. During drier times, you get fairly close to the falls and sometimes swim at the pool at the base (with caution).
